LBV (Late Bottled Vintage)

Some of the best grapes from a single harvest from our main property, Quinta Vale d’Agodinho. Aged for 4 years in seasoned balseiros to produce a soft yet deep and complex LBV with great aging potential.

2013

TASTING NOTES

Colour

Dark ruby with hints of purple

AROMA

Vibrant youthful aromas on the nose, such as cherries and plums, with a peppery touch which adds extra complexity.

PALATE

Intense with lots of dark fruit, spices balanced by well structured tannins, leading to a long and firm finish.

PRESS COMMENTS & ACCOLADES

LBV 2013

92/100
Mark Squires

It’s not the richest and deepest of the LBV’s I’ve seen from this producer, but its focus and the length on the finish is superb. Very expressive as well, this shows brilliantly just now. It can also age and develop if you want to hold it. There will be no problem now or 15 years from now, I suspect. This shows again why traditionally styled LBVs are such great bargains, perhaps the greatest value in Port. June 2018.
